Isn't this something a Mussolini or a Hitler would do?
He has time for these but no time to learn the Presidency nor to attend security briefings it seems.

(25,405 posts)Wonder if DT has a Leni Reifenstahl documenting his rise to power. He certainly has the Nuremburg-ish motto, Make America Great Again. I think the Nuremburg '34 propaganda slogan was GrosserDeutchland (Greater Germany), bolstered by the annexation on Austria.
Are Red Caps the new Brown Shirts?

At least Nixon waited until he was in office to get even with political enemies.

(375 posts)Of course it got out for all to see. But Nixon could restrain himself, as every President since I was born (Eisenhower) has been able to do. Not this little boy.

Following the example of Reagan, another GOP figurehead who had no interest in the job.

(115,869 posts)Even Hitler had those Nuremburg rallies only once a year. I don't think Trump can go that long without his fix of public adoration.
hollowdweller
(4,229 posts)Bush made me worried how he was able to convince about WMD and rush the country to war when it was obvious the facts were elsewhere. Trump worries me even more because he's really like a dictator and he's got a crew of people who discipline opponents.
Really a scarey time in the US.

He's a cross between Mussolini and a Survivor contestant.
He's only scary in his mind, though. I remember when he ran away, after he stuck his turkey neck too far out, in Chicago.

(789 posts)Could we kind of.. you know... file for an "information divorce" from the never-ending onslaught of Trump antics?
Call it irreconcilable differences, call it incompatibility, it doesn't really matter. But it hurts the old cerebellum every time I see more absurd news form Planet Trump.
Could you go for an indefinite "Information Blackout" and give us all a break?
Thanks, The Public
